The Short Stacc of BearStackof2015 is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Panda with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.017 billion BearStacks are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bearstonia. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient BearStackian economy, worth 530 trillion Roombas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 175,936 Roombas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Restaurant owners fear visits from government officials more than the actual food critics, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, you're only as old as you feel, and in distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days. Crime is totally unknown. BearStackof2015's national animal is the BearStack, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BearStackof2015 is ranked 6,714^th in the world and 172^nd in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.53 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
